From: Mossburg, Tim Sent: Monday, January 26, 2015 5:05 PM To: 'krystyna.ohnesorge@bar.admin.ch' Cc: Mangene, Melissa Subject: NOAA Data Archiving Project using SIARD Suite Dr. Ohnesorge, I work for Dewberry and we are currently working on a Data Archiving project for NOAA. Donald Collins from NOAA gave us your name as a point of contact for SIARD Suite issues. Ive used the SIARD Manual for basic operations but it does not help much with error using new from database or siard file to database. SIARD Suite is new to our company; however, it is the application NOAA wants evaluated for archiving. USGS today that the OBIS database PostgrSQL database ftp://ftpext.usgs.gov/pub/cr/co/denver/CSAS//OBISUSA-128/obisusa_schema_dump_Generated_MBG_Metadata_public_20150116.sql.gz - SAIRD cannot connect without the PostgreSQL ODBC driver which requires PostgreSQL application\ server - Is there a minimum requirement to make this type of transaction in SIARD? If you know of any other resources for SIARD Suite I can use along with the SIARD Manual it would be helpful.
